Jeff Darlington ‏@JeffDarlington
Team hadn't received signed contract via fax at 1:59 p.m. If Broncos didn't waive Elvis, they had to pay original $12 million, source says.

Jeff Darlington ‏@JeffDarlington
"We had to protect ourselves," Broncos source said. In other words, they had to cut Dumervil despite agreement to reduction 35 min. earlier.

... The Broncos have a fax with the signed deal from Dumervil timestamped at 2:06 pm MT. Denver source: "We had to protect ourselves."

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:36 pm

Basically, Elvis Dumervil's agent is getting fired

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:40 pm

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Broncos get a heck of a lot of dead money as well now dont they?

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:44 pm

Almost 5m

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:44 pm

Eagles trade a 6th round pick for Arrelious Benn and a 7th from Tampa

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:47 pm

And a conditional pick in 2014.

Like it. Size WR for basically nothing.

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 8:49 pm

As for Dumervil. 5m in dead money makes it very tough for Denver to resign him. Giving him the contract he just lost would give him a 13m cap hit, more than he originally had.

Atlanta makes sense.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:04 pm

Well that's a pretty big loss for Denver if he dont re-sign

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:07 pm

I expect Freeney will fill the void.

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:08 pm

Either way the Broncos are really peed at Dumervil and co. Don't expect them to cave to him.

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:42 pm

Antoine Cason to Arizona on a 1 year deal

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 10:37 pm

Brent Grimes visited Miami. Still think he ends up back in Atlanta and this was a look, a big spender wants me visit.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Mar 15, 2013 10:43 pm

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Former Chargers DT Antonio Garay agreed to a one-year deal with NY Jets.

Replace DeVito, will do a job for a year

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:13 pm

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Greg Jennings reached agreement with...the Vikings.

by NYJ Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:15 pm

Apparently he's more of a pass rusher. He can rotate with Kenrick Ellis and come in on passing downs to get inside pressure with Quinton Coples.

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:17 pm

Expected eventually. Vikes had to get somebody but I doubt Minn was Jennings first choice.

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:23 pm

Adrian Wilson to NE

Hands up who didnt see that coming

by Colan (niner) Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:24 pm

I dunno, he has always looked great in that dome

by Take it to the house Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:25 pm

Jennings!

Perfect fit tbh, we rarely go deep, he's a great ~10 yards receiver

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:26 pm

I'm happy with that. Not the player he was in the passing game, but he'll organise the secondary and give experience alongside McCourty at Safety

by GSC Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:38 pm

Wonder what Greg Jennings sister will make of Ponder

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:33 am

Surprised a team needing a WR hasn't made a run at Danario Alexander with his Original-Pick Tender at $1.323M.

Would be well worth that imo

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 11:58 am

Alexander has no knees

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Mar 16, 2013 3:08 pm

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer
Niko Koutouvides is signing a 1-year deal with the Patriots.

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 3:08 pm

Championship

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Free-agent CB Aqib Talib reached agreement with the Patriots on a one-year deal.

Boom! Hopefully not too much if just a year

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 3:48 pm

Hands up who didn't see that coming again.

Skins liked him but couldn't afford him. (Cue #25 Mara Rage)

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Mar 16, 2013 4:00 pm

His deal is $5 million for the year. Still can't believe we gave Arrington a long term deal for so much money. That was a real headscratcher

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Mar 16, 2013 7:20 pm

Jeff Howe ‏@jeffphowe
The Patriots will release Brandon Lloyd, according to a source.

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 8:17 pm

That the Jets paid Revis his roster bonus suggests they aren't overly impressed with Tampa's offer

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 8:28 pm

Donte Stallworth was hospitalised after a hot air balloon he was in hit a power line.

Never boring the NFL

by **Pr4wn** Sat Mar 16, 2013 8:42 pm

Roster bonus was irrelevant. They're holding out for a first and they're not going to get it.

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 8:44 pm

Wouldn't surprise me if a dark horse emerges for Revis. Somebodys going to lose out on the CB stakes. Thomas Dimitroff isn't afraid to make bold moves in Atlanta.

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 8:46 pm

And maybe, however if the Jets had an offer they found acceptable, 1m helps more than you'd think for a team tight against the cap.

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 8:47 pm

49ers signed Craig Dahl, S

by NYJ Sat Mar 16, 2013 9:09 pm

If it helps get a 2n elevated to a 1st, $1m is nothing. It might make the Bucs think we're serious about keeping him.

by GSC Sat Mar 16, 2013 11:13 pm

Brent Grimes visited Cleveland

by GSC Sun Mar 17, 2013 12:05 am

Next on the roulette of Giants TE is Brandon Myers

by GSC Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:00 pm

Asomugha will visit NO.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:18 pm

Andrew Brandt ‏@adbrandt
Thought on QBs part II: Chase Daniel, with eight completions in four years, will make almost $4M this season as a backup. Oh.

Nearly as much a Talib and Rodgers Cromartie.

by Colan (niner) Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:18 pm

Wonder if Asomugha is after a lot. 49ers one of the few teams that don't up their orginal offers so I think Saints will get him. 49ers system does suit his style more though

by GSC Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:22 pm

Hes already earned 4m this season so its probably more a case of teams trying to squeeze him.

Rob Ryan was his DC for 4 years in Oakland, probably a better fit and bigger need there.

by GSC Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:41 pm

Greg jennings turned down a 6m per offer from the Patriots

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Mar 17, 2013 9:37 pm

Field Yates ‏@FieldYates
The Patriots have signed free agent OT Will Svitek, according to a league source.

God I hope that doesn't mean Vollmer is going

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun Mar 17, 2013 9:38 pm

Something like that from the Packers too didn't he?

All about the money money money

by twelve283 Sun Mar 17, 2013 11:22 pm

According to Schefter we didn't ever make Jennings an offer.

Difficult to tell if the Svitek signing changes anything with regards to Vollmer. I still consider the inactivity in the OT market to be a positive thing for our chances of re-signing him.

There are rumours that the Cardinals are interested in Carson Palmer if and when he is released from the Raiders.

by **Pr4wn** Mon Mar 18, 2013 7:44 am

Jake Long finally inks a four year deal with the Rams.

by GSC Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:35 am

3-0 StL.

StL has the first 2 picks of the 08 draft
